Squat Assessment Bootcamp

Learn what to look for when assessing the squat and understand why your client moves the way they do.

Stop Guessing. Start Understanding Movement.

Have you ever watched a client squat and thought, “Something doesn't look quite right” but weren't sure what you were seeing or how to improve it?

The Squat Assessment Bootcamp takes the guesswork out of movement assessment, teaching you what to look for, how to interpret what you see and how to use your findings to inform your programming.

We’ll take you through the squat step by step, exploring joint actions, planes and axes of movement, key muscles and movement technique so you can understand what is happening at each stage.

You’ll develop your observation skills so you can assess movement from 360 degrees, recognise postural and movement compensations, identify joint positions and understand the anatomy behind what you’re seeing.

You’ll also learn how to assess:

✔️ Joint action and movement efficiency
✔️ Joint stability and mobility
✔️ Muscle length and function

Then we’ll show you how to turn your assessment findings into something useful.

Our HOLY GRAIL strategy inside the VAULT helps you organise and interpret key compensations, giving you a clear framework to identify areas that may require mobility work, strengthening or other appropriate exercise adaptations.

You’ll be able to use your findings to make better exercise choices, plan more targeted warm-ups and build more individualised programmes around your client’s needs.

And these observation skills don't stop at the squat. Once you understand what to look for, you can apply the same principles to other exercises and movement patterns throughout your client sessions.

See More. Understand More. Coach Better.

By the end of the Bootcamp, you’ll have the knowledge and practical assessment skills to observe, analyse and interpret client movement with far greater confidence.

Explore The Squat Assessment Bootcamp

The Squat Assessment Bootcamp is divided into 4 learning sections, with 20 video tutorials providing around 5 hours of focused learning, plus cheat sheets and practical resources to help you understand and apply squat assessment.

Here’s what you’ll learn in your Squat Assessment Bootcamp.

Before you can assess movement, you need to understand what good movement looks like and what is happening beneath the surface.

Start by refreshing the key anatomical and physiological knowledge behind the squat, including joint actions, planes of movement and axes of movement.

You’ll explore the structure and capabilities of the major joints involved in the squat, alongside key concepts such as posture, mobility and stability.

Most importantly, you’ll begin to connect this knowledge to what you see when your client moves, giving you a stronger foundation for analysing technique, alignment and movement patterns.

Knowing what to look for is one thing. Having a clear process to follow is what gives you confidence when assessing a real client.

You’ll be introduced to the SOAP protocol, providing a structured approach to collecting and organising the information you need.

You’ll learn what to ask during your consultation, how to identify useful information from what your client tells you and how to combine this with what you observe during movement.

You’ll then be guided through how to introduce and perform the squat assessment, collect relevant data and use a scoring system to quantify your findings.

Rather than relying on guesswork or simply deciding that something “doesn’t look right”, you’ll have a repeatable process you can follow with every client.

You’ll work through real squat assessments, filming yourself and others so you can practise observing movement from different angles and build your confidence analysing what you see.

You’ll learn how to identify joint misalignment, postural compensations and inefficient movement patterns, developing the ability to spot subtle changes that can easily be overlooked.

You’ll also use practical assessment tools such as the 5-Inch Wall Protocol and Thomas Test to investigate potential restrictions and muscle imbalances.

The more you practise, the more you’ll develop your ability to look beyond “that doesn’t look right” and understand what is happening, why it may be happening and what it could mean for your client.

By the end of this section, you’ll have a much more trained eye — ready to assess movement with greater accuracy, confidence and purpose.

Assessment is only useful if you know what to do with the information you collect.

In this section, you’ll bring together your observations, assessment scores and additional testing to identify which muscles may be tight or weak and how these findings relate to your client's movement.

You’ll learn how to interpret your findings and use them to make more informed decisions about mobility work, strengthening, exercise selection and programme design.

The aim is to move from simply saying “I can see a compensation” to understanding what may be contributing to it and how you can respond appropriately.

You’ll finish this section with a much clearer understanding of how to use assessment findings to create more individualised training programmes.

TURN KNOWLEDGE INTO ACTION

Finally, you’ll bring the entire assessment process together.

Your Squat Assessment Scoring Chart and HOLY GRAIL Template give you practical tools to organise your findings and identify areas that may require attention.

The HOLY GRAIL Template is designed to help you work through tight and weak muscles and potential compensations, providing a framework you can use when analysing the squat and other movement patterns.

You’ll then work through a realistic case study, following the assessment process from start to finish and seeing how the information you collect can be interpreted and applied.

By the end of the Bootcamp, you won’t just understand the theory behind squat assessment you’ll have a clear process, practical assessment tools and downloadable resources you can use within your own coaching practice.

LEARN. ASSESS. ANALYSE. APPLY.

You’ll have the knowledge and resources to make squat assessment a practical part of your FITPRO service, helping you make more informed decisions about how you assess, coach and programme for your clients.

The Bootcamp doesn't just give you the knowledge, it gives you the tools to put it into practice.

Alongside the 20 video tutorials and cheat sheets, you’ll get lifetime access to your Document Vault, containing 18 downloadable resources to support your squat assessment process.

You can access your resources whenever you need them, download them at the click of a button and personalise them with your own branding.

Use them to support your consultations, assessments, client education and programme planning, making it easier to introduce squat assessment as part of your normal FITPRO service.
